Haemul pajeon
$$, Korean, Antioch
"One of my favorite things to eat in Nashville. It’s super crispy and the sauce is delicious. The whole menu is good, but I also really enjoy the spicy braised octopus."

Where I Go Out
Short rib sandwich
$$, Bbq, Buena Vista
"This comes with a rack of short ribs (and has to be dipped in the hot sauce) between two slices of white bread, pickles and hot water cornbread. The turnip greens are my favorite side. It’s a ton of food!"
Esane sausage
$$, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Thai, Edgehill
"The owner, Nina, is awesome and friendly. I always have the fermented Laotian pork sausage. It's fried and served with a super spicy ginger sauce and sticky rice. I usually end up ordering a Thai tea to cool off the heat from the chilies."
Smoked chicken wings
$$, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, American, Bbq, Comfort Food, 12 South
"These are the best wings in Nashville. Smoked and fried, then tossed with Alabama white BBQ sauce and served with a side of the Devil's Nectar sauce to dip them in. It lights you up!"
